What is in the dataset
The file holds 1,541 records across eight record types, plus a translation map for the Spanish and French fields. Every record carries its own lastVerified date, so a downstream user can see how current any single row is.
| Record type | Count |
|---|---|
| Brands and vendors | 290 |
| Companion apps with Google Play and App Store links | 998 |
| Cloud and IoT platforms | 29 |
| Certification schemes | 44 |
| Compatibility guides | 47 |
| Product models and manuals | 32 |
| Troubleshooting guides | 40 |
| Protocols | 61 |
The site publishes more pages than the dataset carries records: the dataset covers the reference centres and the two large directories. Category hubs, comparisons, marketplace rows and product pages are generated from the same catalogue and are linked from this file's sibling pages.
Fields and shape
